Management of nematodes associated with date-palm using oil-cakes and carbofuran.

摘要

The effect of organic amendments including castor and mustard oil cakes was investigated on the nematodes associated with date palm at Awaran Chowk, district Lasbela, Balochistan, Pakistan. Carbofuran was used for comparison purpose. Of the two organic amendments, mustard oil-cake was more effective in the control of Helicotylenchus multicinctus and Pratylenchus penetrans populations. However, yield remained uninfluenced by the treatments.
